WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Two police officers were fatally shot responding to a potential domestic situation in Ohio on Saturday afternoon, authorities said. The shooting suspect was wounded in the incident and taken to a nearby hospital.

The shooting took place around 11:30 a.m. Saturday on Crosswind Drive. Officers were responding to a 911 call at the address, and were fired upon when they arrived at the scene.

The victims were later identified as 39-year-old officer Anthony Morelli and 54-year-old officer Eric Joering, Westerville Police Chief Joe Morbitzer announced during a press briefing Saturday.

Just read this on my news feed.  Tragic.  Too bad the gunman is still alive.

It has been a while since I lived in Columbus, but Westerville was never considered a bad area.  The areas around Linden, Hilltop, and Reynoldsburg were always the ones to avoid.
